Recently, the mobile phone market has ushered in a lightweight flagship that has attracted much attention, which is the just-launched vivo X300 FE. Different from the Pro or Ultra versions of the same series, which focus on top-notch photography hardware, vivo X300 FE chooses to strike a balance between performance, battery life and one-handed grip. This new machine is not only equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, but also has a 6500mAh large-capacity battery built into the 6.31-inch slim body. Together with the Zeiss certified lens set, the overall specifications are quite competitive. This time vivo launches it on the market with a price of $6,999. Let’s see if it meets the daily needs of local users!
The first feeling when you hold it in hand is that the Hong Kong version of the vivo X300 FE weighs 190g and is 8.2mm thick, giving it a very solid grip suitable for one-handed operation. The back design is a major feature of this generation. The manufacturer has switched to a horizontally arranged lens module layout, which is similar to some Western brand flagships on the market that focus on photography, and is very recognizable. The fuselage has IP68 and IP69 dust-proof and waterproof certifications, which can withstand high-pressure water jets and deep water immersion, and its durability is fully guaranteed.
As for the screen, the machine is equipped with a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display that supports 120Hz update rate and 2160Hz PWM dimming, with a peak brightness of 5000 nits. When browsing the web or watching videos under strong light outdoors, the picture remains clear, the color reproduction is accurate, and the visual experience is comfortable and practical.
▲vivo X300 FE has an under-screen fingerprint unlocking function
▲There is a 50-megapixel selfie camera front lens and autofocus function above the screen, which can easily meet the needs of high-quality selfies and video calls.
▲The volume button and power button are located on the right side of the fuselage
▲ The Nano SIM card slots and expansion card slots on both sides are placed next to the Type C port on the bottom of the phone.
▲As for the system, vivo X300 FE is pre-installed with Android 16+. After deducting the original system, the 512GB ROM version still has 478GB of space for users to use. The Hong Kong version is preloaded with an operating interface based on Android 16. The manufacturer promises to provide system upgrades for up to five years, which enhances the long-term use value of the phone.
▲Users in the system can choose smart, 60Hz and 120Hz and resolution by themselves.
▲vivo X300 FE has added a “memory expansion” function, which allows users to expand the RAM size within the design. Users can add up to 12GB of RAM to the phone.
The Hong Kong version of vivo X300 FE is equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, coupled with 12GB of RAM and UFS 4.1 storage space. There is no doubt about the overall smooth operation. Whether you are opening multiple applications on a daily basis or running large-scale stereoscopic mobile games, the system can provide stable performance, and the body’s heat dissipation control is also quite mature.
What caught my attention even more is its built-in 6500mAh battery, which provides this level of power in such a compact body, allowing the phone to easily handle a full day of medium-to-high-intensity use without the need to recharge midway. The machine supports both 90W wired fast charging and 40W wireless charging. The battery can be fully charged in about 55 minutes, bringing great convenience to users.
Photography function has always been vivo’s key project, and vivo X300 FE is equipped with a three-lens combination, including a 50-megapixel OIS main lens, a 50-megapixel OIS telephoto lens that supports 3x optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. In daylight conditions, the imaging of the main lens and telephoto lens is solid, the colors retain Zeiss’s consistent natural style, the details are rich, and the dynamic range is wide. The three-fold optical zoom lens is extremely practical when shooting portraits or distant views, and the bokeh effect is handled naturally and unobtrusively. However, compared to the performance of the main lens, the resolution of this 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens is relatively average, which can be regarded as a compromise to balance the body design and cost.
In addition, the manufacturer has launched an exclusive Zeiss Professional Kit accessory for photography enthusiasts, including a 200mm external telephoto teleconverter, which further expands the shooting versatility of the phone.

Summarize
The Hong Kong version of vivo X300 FE gives up the blind pursuit of a giant screen and instead provides users with a choice that can be controlled with one hand, has top performance and has strong battery life. Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 ensures future performance margins. The 6500mAh battery solves users’ power anxiety. Coupled with the reliable Zeiss dual main cameras, the overall package is quite complete. For Hong Kong consumers who prefer a lightweight body but don’t want to compromise on performance and power, the vivo X300 FE is definitely an upgrade option worth noting.
